Circus-performer-turned-PI Mongo takes on “the CIA, neo-Nazis, and Haitian voodoo terrorists” in a grand finale that is “even more fun than usual” (Booklist). With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as “Mongo the Magnificent”—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Investigating illegal CIA activities in Haiti leads Mongo and his brother, former NYPD cop Garth Frederickson, to a grisly discovery: five victims of voodoo ritual sacrifice. But that’s just the first surprise. Soon they uncover a wildly ambitious assassination plot that not only puts them in the cross hairs but also has the potential to change the fate of the United States forever . . . Employing his “unlimited imagination” and talent for creating “terrific suspense” in the Mongo mystery series, author George C. Chesbro delivers a climax that pulls out all the stops (Publishers Weekly). Dream of a Falling Eagle is the 14th book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

This book, Call to the Falling Eagle, explores who Americans once were in terms of beliefs and values, who we have become in the past century, and how that has changed the course of our nation from a path of ascent to a path of descent. The primary agents that affected these changes are also described. Future prospects for our nation are next examined if current trends in changing beliefs and values of Americans continue indefinitely. This modern experiment is failing our nation. Finally, Eagle explores paths to reverse the declining course of our nation, calls Americans to seek paths of restoration, and offers hope for that restoration.

In November 1998, Barclays chief executive Martin Taylor walked out of his job. Widely regarded as one of Britain's most talented businessmen, Taylor had reached the end of his tether after a series of trading disasters and boardroom clashes and together with discredited chairman Andrew Bruxton, had lost the confidence of many colleagues. What had brought this once-great British institution to the brink? The story of the decline of Barclays is rich in personality, intrigue and social nuance. It reflects all the elements of change in Britain over the past twenty years; the competitive forces of the Thatcher years and the greed that came with them, the ravages of the early-nineties recession, the uncertainties which followed and the shock of the 1998 Asian crisis. Martin Vander Weyer is uniquely placed to tell this fascinating story. He worked for Barclays from 1981 to 1992 and was responsible for setting up several overseas operations. He has access to most of the senior figures at Barclays. The book will be written in an anecdotal style and aimed at a broad readership rather than a business audience, focusing on the personalities of the Barclays story but set in a wider context of economic and social change.

There is a saying, He who lives by the sword shall also die by the sword. If America is a democracy, bases itself by the constitution, the preamble, and the laws of the land or country, and if it was our origin, then it shall be our demise. It is one too; it was set up wrong, or we are interpreting it wrong; it was based on freedom and rights for a free society, under God with liberty and justice for all. And we say, In God we trust. How can America trust in a God that has been laid to the side. How is he laid to the side? By our constitution, the First Amendment.

“[Eagle Voice Remembers] is John Neihardt’s mature and reflective interpretation of the old Sioux way of life. He served as a translator of the Sioux past, whose audience has proved not to be limited by space or time. Through Neihardt’s writings Black Elk, Eagle Elk, and other old men who were of that last generation of Sioux to have participated in the old buffalo-hunting life and the disorienting period of strife with the U.S. Army found a literary voice. What they say chronicles a dramatic transition in the life of the Plains Indians; the record of their thoughts, interpreted by Neihardt, is a legacy preserved for the future. It transcends the specifics of this one tragic case of cultural misunderstanding and conflict and speaks to universal human concerns. It is a story worth contemplating both for itself and for the lessons it teaches all humanity.”—from the introduction by Raymond J. DeMallie In her foreword Coralie Hughes discusses John G. Neihardt’s intention that this book, formerly titled When the Tree Flowered, be understood as a prequel to his classic Black Elk Speaks. In this new edition David C. Posthumus adds clarity through his annotations, introducing Eagle Voice Remembers to a new generation of readers and presenting a fresh understanding for fans of the original.
